An attractive mixture of stem (chard) colours.
Harvest as baby leaves to bring colour to salads then cook more mature stems and leaves separately or for use in stir-fries. Perfect for Salads as well.
Pretty enough for the flower border too!
This was the first time I had grown Chard and we are complete converts. It germinated easily (in plugs as didn't have the space), didn't bolt in the way that summer spinach does and tastes absolutely delicious. Also until the recent very bad weather, we were still picking. A definate must in future - highly recomend it!
Sow April to August 1in/2.5cm deep, thin seedlings to 6-9/15-25cm apart.
